Virginia’s Gubernatorial Primary

At exactly 6am in DC — about three miles away from Virginia’s blue-leaning northern suburbs — a violent thunderstorm rattled through. McAuliffe, who is depending on large turnout in the race, just can’t seem to catch a break — two new polls showed the once leader trailing Creigh Deeds by double digits. Here’s a story from me on the race.
